unreleased 32x games

[123lkik]

does anyone have any unreleased 32x videos. roms. etc.

[Micjohvan]

I have the Ecco Rom, its of the trailer shown at 95 E3 I think. Its a full motion video about 20 seconds long that shows the ecco logo coming across the ocean and then ecco jumps through the letter O.

Its awsome quality and ran on real 32x hardware. However the saze for that short video was immense, hints the reason we never saw any full motion video out of 32x. It could do it, but the carts were no where near big enough.

The quality is far better then sega cd so it looks cool.

Also there is supposed to be a beta or alpha flaoting around of Virtua Hamster. It was a game where you raced around in hamster tubing with other animals and such. I have had no luck finding it though.

If you want the ecco one I would gladdly post it up. it was never released and as such the rom isnt illeagle (i dont think anyway)

[ASSEMbler]

Someone bought the cart for hamster, but I don't think it's dumped.

Rumors are virtua fighter and daytona, and panzer dragoon.

[madhatter256]

Then there is the rumored build of Sonic Xtreme demo that they used to pitch the idea to Sega of America.

That ecco video could have been done if they released the game on the SegaCD/32x, like the 32x version of NightTrap which includes better quality video than the basic Sega CD version.

[wheelaa]

Please do:). I don't remember ever seeing it and would be very interested to. Great machine the 32x.

[Micjohvan]

I know the hamster thing has been dumped. Some forum I found was talking about it back in like 2004. Apparently its just really hard to find.



here is a link to a page with ALL the info on Ecco for the 32X. It even includes the link to the rom, this is where I got my rom. It has pics, and even images of the PCB. Apparently the video was made with cinepack. Anyway read that page to get all the info on it.

I had though that Hamster hadn't been dumped, you'd expect it wouldn't be too hard to find if it had been, since it's one of the most interesting titles unreleased for the system.

[123lkik]

does anyone have x-men mojo world

[123lkik]

does anyone have the video for shadow of atlantis

[Buyatari]

Xmen does exist. Search the web and you should find it and its owner.

I know a collector with a STACK of hampsters. 8-10 total. Coulda sworn he sold off a few in the past but I could be wrong. I assumed that it HAD to be dumped.

1 more game is out there in collector hands that no one has mentioned but I'll keep that one to myself..........until its in my hands.

[Yakumo]

Rumors are virtua fighter and daytona, and panzer dragoon.Virtua Fighter was released mate or at least in Europe it was. NOt a patch on the Saturn version which is also cack compared to the arcade but still quite nice for a 32X.

Yakumo

[Blur2040]

Virtua Fighter was released. I own it. Quite nice...if you like Virtua Fighter.

We've talked about Panzer Dragoon and Daytona for 32x before...I know we've had screenshots for both of em...maybe video as well...I don't recall.

I do recall hearing about a well known collector owning Virtual Hamster on one of the forums I frequent...and theres only three. Here, Digitpress, and Atariage. I suspect Atariage though....there are some big time collectors there with lots o' money. I coulda swore whoever it was planned on dumping it though...maybe it is out there.

[wheelaa]

Cheers, very interesting read.

And japan too mate;-) . Its good fun at least (and seems to play faster than the saturn version)

[DreamTR]

FYI, I have unreleased versions of:

Soulstar
Spot Goes to Hollywood
X-Men Mojo World
Virtua Hamster

Any chance of videos of them running?

[Taemos]

Someone here had a copy of Virtual Hamster, but didn't have a lot of luck dumping it. I completely forgot his name, though...

[virtual alan]

cool.

Also there is supposed to be a beta or alpha flaoting around of Virtua Hamster. It was a game where you raced around in hamster tubing with other animals and such. I have had no luck finding it though.


Now what a cool idea for a game

Why haven`t "N" thought of this to go with the rest of them :shrug:

[Anthaemia.]

Sonic X-Treme isn't just a rumour, as Chris Senn has plenty of documentation (and even some early test footage) to confirm that it was in development at one point for the 32X. Virtua Fighter managed a better frame rate than the supposedly better Saturn version, so how can you say it was a total failure? Also, didn't Yakumo upload screen captures from a video quite a while back showing the 32X prototypes of Daytona USA and Panzer Dragoon?

I don't actually have anything from unreleased 32X software, but if I checked through my old collection of magazines I'm fairly sure that I could provide some early pictures of Kolibri (sp?) and the "Sonic Mars" video that was later turned into a motion ride and featured in Sonic Jam - providing anyone is interested, that is. Then again, there might be a few other surprises that I've forgotten about over the years hiding within all those pages as well...

[Alchy]

I'd love to see anything about a Sonic game on 32X.

[Anthaemia.]

As I mentioned before, Chris Senn has a few test animations from Sonic X-Treme when it was still being produced for the 32X, and there's also the "Sonic Ride" clip featured in Sonic Jam. While this was actually taken from a motion simulator, I recall certain magazines using pictures in relation to a project codenamed Sonic Mars. Of course, Mars was the original development title for the 32X, so presumably journalists at the time were getting confused between the early version of X-Treme and something completely different.

[DreamTR]

Yakumo: I don't have the time to get videos of them up and running, unfortunately.

[Yakumo]

Yakumo: I don't have the time to get videos of them up and running, unfortunately.No time to make even one video? :crying: You could always lend them to me so I could make the videos :thumbsup:

[DreamTR]

yakumo: There's a lot more involved with it than you think. I have to pull the games out of boxes, then hook up a 32X, then get a VCR connected to the TV and find a blank tape, tape it, then send it off? I don't exactly have the following: video camera for easier recording, and TIME for any of this. I also don't get much out of the whole ordeal, so I usually don't pull out anything unless I am selling it.

[Barc0de]

..or dating it..her i mean. lol

[DreamTR]

barcode: LOL

[Fonzie]

lol
No risk those things could bitrot after more than 10years
Or you already dumped those?
Btw, i had a movie from the xmen mojo world demo cartridge... i'll try to find it if someone interested.

Not so much trouble to me. Plus you shouldn't do things just to get something from it. Well, in a way you would be getting something, the gratitude of many gamers across the globe :nod:

Oh well. I guess we'll all have to still wait.

@Fonzie - If you can find that tape it would be most appreciated !! I can even host it if you need a place for it to be uploaded to.:thumbsup:

Sorry i think we need to start charging him to come onto the site from now on. We dont get anything from all the hard work people put in here for him just to see it for free. Oh and im pretty sure hes not made a single penny from being able to use this site either...

Agreed.

Why do you have "Forum Moderator" in your signature?

[Paulo]

I had changed the "Moderator" tag under my name before (but its back now) and it stands out more to new comers. Whyyy?

[DreamTR]

Paulo: That's a pretty bold statement, this site actually has caused me more HARM than good I hate to say. I've had deals gone bad, people file PayPal claims on me, industry complaints, etc. It's not like I have been going on this forum selling hundreds of items or anything, it's just a good way to get your items out in the open, but why should I go and dig out stuff that cost me a lot of money for free and then have to see you give me some kind of sarcastic comment about owing thanks to this site? That's a pretty indecent remark, especially for a moderator? It's actually uncalled for.

Yakumo, a lot of people get ticked off when you don't dump carts and give them away for free. If I paid $$$ for something, I want to be compensated for it back since I am going to devalue it when it is not dumped. Whether anyone likes it or not, there are many collectors who will not go after certain games that are already freely available on the web, which hurts the collectors' market, but helps the community player market out tremedously. I am looking out for my costs, which is nothing out of the ordinary.

No ones asking you to go and release your collection of things. But saying your not willing to make abit of effort for people here because your not making anything out of it isnt really a very good reason. I can understand if you really really couldnt do it because you were really busy but from your statement if you had something to gain from it then you would of been ok with it.

If no one was willing to go out of their way to show people things around here then there wouldnt be any point in Kevin spending alot of money and time to give you the pleasure of being part of the community that this place is meant to be.

[DreamTR]

Paulo: I listed everything I would have had to do to get a videotape of what he was asking. I do not have time like I said, and what he was asking was unreasonable based on the situation at hand. Please read what I would have had to do again to provide him with a videotape of these games in action. What's worse is that his response was more of an act that I SHOULD do it anyway, and time is not an excuse, when I specifically mentioned all the other components needed.

Also, I respect what this board is and does for people, but giving me the pleasure of being part of the community this place is meant to be? We are both trying to help each other in this sense. I have a good amount of stuff I would like to share, but for a lot of the same old reasons why people complain about those that "horde" things, we get turned away based on the attitudes of people making things a bit more grandiose than they should be.

I've been involved with sharing a LOT of games for the community, and I am sure I have been doing it longer than most people have been even coming to this website. Because it is not posted here often does not mean it does not exist, that's all I am saying.

So again, I made a thread about the games, and we can discuss this further if anyone is interested in acquiring dumps of these for the community. I just want to make sure I am compensated for the losses I would take based on how much the game is worth and/or how much I paid for it.

[Yakumo]

I made a post saying that you SHOULD do it? Sorry if you took it the wrong way but I just thought your excuse was lame. I didn't pacifically request a video at all. Even a picture that's never been seen before would be most welcome by others. How long can that take? 15 minutes tops after getting out the system, taking a picture the editing? I have a full time job, work after hours, run an online store (20 to 30 orders per week), a internet game show and a site plus have to spend time with the wife and friends. So I know what busy is. Saying that, if you don't have a digital camera or video capture card then I fully understand why you must take a video.

Yakumo

[DreamTR]

Yakumo: The game is buried in my closet, that does not take 15 minutes to get to. Hooking up a 32x with all the stuff I have? Not 15 minutes either. Video Capture Card? Nope, I do not. Digital Camera, 810K pixels, so yeah, I can take pics of these games, as I have done in the past when I have time for unreleased NES and Genesis stuff, but not unless I am digging on purpose. If you saw how many games I had, and how things are packed away here, you might understand why I don't dig through everything here to try and get you one digital camera shot.

Also, you wrote this:

No time to make even one video? You could always lend them to me so I could make the videos

Looks like you asked me for a video there ;)

That was a joke. British humour. Well, I own over 700 Saturn games, 400 DC games, and over 100 other stuff so I can sort of guess what your closet looks like. We'll leave it there I guess.

[sayin999]

Wait, didnt virtua fighter get a 32x release in japan? How could that not have moved units.

[wheelaa]

Yeah it was released in japan.

[MottZilla]

DreamTR, I agree that dumping games devalues them, and understand compesation of sorts for dumping them. I think the real question would be how much you'd like to get for either selling whatever game or sending it to be dumped for the general community's enjoyment.

10,000 games in such a small apartment. :O I hope you have those things insured.

[Unorthodox]

Just for some info on Virtua Hamster:

What do you do when you have a guest?

[Buyatari]

What do you do when you have a guest?When he had a biggger place it wasn't so bad. I stopped by after the Xbox E3 party drunk off my ass barely able to walk and he let me sleep it off on a cot. He says the new place is tiny compared with the old and the old place was CRAMPED.

10,000+ games?! Good God!

[DreamTR]

Buyatari, no, that apartment was 400 SQ feet, this one is 900, so it's much bigger =P

And yes, I am insured.

[Buyatari]

Hmm I never saw any apartments just the house you had.

[DreamTR]

Yeah, I moved since then...

[Mazyora]

I actually almost bid on the copy of Virtua Hampster on Ebay. I even emailed the doode, but if i remember, I backed out on buying it at a set price.

[XxHennersXx]

dreamTR are there any pictures of your collection?

[handofg0d]

dreamTR are there any pictures of your collection?

I haven't seen any pictures in a long long time but he has complete collections of NES, SMS, VBOY, GEN/32X/Sega CD/Saturn, SNES, N64/64DD, TG16/CD/SCD, Vectrex, Intellivision, Colecovision, Neo Geo, N-Gage, Neo Geo Pocket, Dreamcast, Atari Jaguar/CD, 3DO, Atari 5200/7800, GB/GBC/GBA (as ripped from his DigitPress sig) so you can imagine it's huge. Not to mention he owns (or has owned at some point) just about every NES prototype as well as too much other shit.

MiaD went to his apartment apparently, as described in this blog post:
http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=7157575&publicUserId=5472246

So that's at least a bit of a description.

Sorry to bump this thread up but some of these games have been dump and released by saturno and drx they include

Soul Star X (Possibly a tech demo)
Virtura Hamster (Very early prototype)
X-men (Another early prototype)

Oh just so you all know virtura hamster and x-men were dump for years but only lucky ones had it now we all have it thanks to the kick-ass drx and his team

Now what are some the ones that will probably be dump soon?
